MARTIANS CLAIM ATTACK AGAINST SHUTTLE

By LATUFF, Aerospace Cartoonist

(CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.) - Martian National Liberation Front (MNLF) claimed responsability for the suicide bombing attack that broke apart in flames Space shuttle Columbia killing all seven astronauts including war hero Ilan Ramon, colonel in Israel's air force and that country's first astronaut. Former fighter pilot, Ramon had survived two wars.

MNFL's spokesman Mr. Spock said that "United States and Israel has lost its war against the Martian resistance and attack has proved that PMNFL is capable of reaching the enemy everywhere."

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has promised retaliation against alien terrorists.
U.S. President George Bush has promised nothing, since he's too busy with Iraq.

... a cartoon and a comment mainly distinguished by their tastelessness.

The fact that the first Israeli in space gets blown up over Palestine (even if that's Palestine, Texas) takes the irony of the decade award. That CNN and co. are even speculating about terrorist involvement takes the predictable response of the decade award.


What is tasteless is that the deaths of the crew members (however tragic, which of course it is) gets total saturation coverage in the corporate media, unlike the thousands killed in Afghanistan, or children killed by Israel or starved in the Occupied Territories, which get virtually none.

Valueing American lives, and those of their allies above all others is the ultimate in tastelessness.
